The others are new ground for me.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ll be reaching out to interview key people at those five companies, to get an understanding of their vision, customers, and products and services. I&#8217;ll also contact James Kaskade and Chad Jones to get their current views of the IoT and what they&#8217;re doing about it.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, please contact me via Twitter with other suggestions.
